How to make banana doughnut
To make banana doughnuts, follow these steps:
1. Gather the ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Add the mashed bananas, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, making sure all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the batter.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
6. Drop spoonfuls of the banana doughnut batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the doughnuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the fried doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain excess oil.
8. Optional: Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
9. Serve the banana doughnuts immediately and enjoy!
Note: You can also add variations to your banana doughnuts by rolling them in cinnamon sugar or dipping them in chocolate glaze for added flavor and sweetness.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make banana doughnuts:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, cinnamon-sugar, or glaze
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the dough tough.
Step 3: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle.
Step 4: Heat the oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5: While the oil is heating, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two different-sized round cookie cutters to cut out the doughnuts. Alternatively, you can shape the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly to make doughnut holes.
Step 6: Carefully add the doughnuts to the hot oil, frying a few at a time, turning them over once they start to brown. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7: Repeat the frying process with the remaining doughnuts and doughnut holes.
Step 8: Once the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar, cinnamon-sugar, or glaze them using your favorite glaze recipe.
Step 9: Serve and enjoy your homemade banana doughnuts!
Note: It is important to be cautious when working with hot oil. Make sure to use a deep pot or fryer and be mindful of oil splatters.
